Dominica 2

Next morning, things came good – the hire car turned up on time, luggage turned up at the airport and we were able to combine a trip to pick it up with a tour of the northeast corner of Dominica. It is incredibly lush and plants that struggle to grow indoors in UK thrive in this climate. We walked down to some red sandstone rocks by the sea, dropped into Koko Nutz Beach Bar, where Nigel laid on a fine rum cocktail, and enjoyed the view of the beach with the almond trees in the foreground. We enjoyed a slow drive on the twisty and hilly roads, soaking up the scenery and visiting a couple of beaches as well as taking one along a ridge with steep inland and sea views on either side. Saw coconuts starting to grow after falling. Distances don’t relate to time here as the roads are so winding, but we had already slowed down to the pace of Dominica so it didn’t matter. Another fine dinner followed while listening to the sounds of the sea and the tree frogs.
